Ingredients

  • 1 lb pork belly, cut into bite-sized cubes
  • 1 teaspoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon paprika (smoked or regular)
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper

  • 1 teaspoon honey or brown sugar (for caramelization)

Instructions

1. Prepare the Pork Belly

  1. Pat the pork belly cubes dry with a paper towel to remove excess moisture (this helps them crisp up).

2. Air Fry the Pork Belly

  1. Preheat the air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for about 3 minutes.
  2. Arrange the pork belly bites in a single layer in the air fryer basket, leaving space between them.
  3. Air fry for 12-15 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through, until they are crispy and golden brown.

3. Serve and Enjoy

  1. Remove from the air fryer and let them rest for a minute.
  2. Serve with your favorite dipping sauce—honey garlic, BBQ, or spicy mayo are great options!
